Will These Keto Cookies Be Good Enough for National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day?

One of my partners follows a light keto type diet from time to time in part to lose weight and in part because his father has diabetes and he worried about inheriting that illness. National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day is happening on August 4th so when I was offered a chance to try out this KETO and CO cookie mix months ago, I gave it a try. Would it be a good choice for those of you following a keto diet for the fun food holiday or should you give it a pass? Is it "craveable" as the mix proclaims? Keep reading to find out. I received a free cookie mix from KETO and Co via the Amazon Vine program in exchange for putting up a review on the mega seller website; this feature article is an surprise bonus for them.

The first thing to note about this mix is that it uses coconut flour and almond flour along with a lot of other added fibrous ingredients and several alternative sweeteners that I'm familiar with. I hoped that these would not destroy the taste of the chocolate drops which are made with chocolate liquor but also have a lot of added ingredients. A simple food this is not. It also required unsalted butter and 3 eggs. Lots of potential allergens then in this mix.

Let's look at the final cookies. Note their light color on both top and bottom.

In terms of flavor, when you encountered the chips they were certainly intense but the rest of the cookie was oddly sweet. For something that is supposed to be keto friendly, I was not expecting that. In fact, the sweetness overwhelmed the chocolate too much for me. My keto light partner liked them but not enough to justify spending that amount of money on them. If you have extra cash, try them once and see if this mix is worth it to you.
